1. Nature of Operations

Plug Power Inc. (the “Company,” “Plug,” “we” or “our”) is facilitating the paradigm shift to an increasingly electrified world by innovating cutting-edge hydrogen and fuel cell solutions. ~~In our core business,~~While we ~~provide and~~ continue to develop ~~commercially viable~~commercially-viable hydrogen and fuel cell product solutions to replace lead-acid and lithium batteries in electric material handling vehicles and industrial trucks for some of the world’s largest retail-distribution and manufacturing ~~businesses.~~businesses, we have expanded our offerings to support a variety of commercial operations that can be powered with green hydrogen. We also provide electrolyzers that allow customers — such as refineries, producers of chemicals, steel and fertilizer and commercial refueling stations — to generate hydrogen on-site. Additionally, we intend for our electrolyzers to be used to generate green hydrogen within Plug’s own plants that will then be sold to customers. We are focusing our efforts on industrial mobility applications, including electric forklifts and electric industrial vehicles, at multi-shift high volume manufacturing and high throughput distribution sites where we believe our products and services provide a unique combination of productivity, flexibility, and environmental benefits. Additionally, we manufacture and sell fuel cell products to replace batteries and diesel generators in stationary ~~backup~~back-up power ~~applications. These products have proven valuable with~~applications for telecommunications, transportation, and utility ~~customers as robust, reliable,~~customers. Plug supports these markets with an ecosystem of integrated products that make, transport, handle, dispense and ~~sustainable power solutions.~~use hydrogen.

ProGen: ProGen is our fuel cell stack and engine technology currently used globally in mobility and stationary fuel cell systems, and as engines in electric delivery vans. This includes the Plug Power membrane electrode assembly (“MEA”), a critical component of the fuel cell stack used in zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicle engines; and

~~GenFuel Electrolyzers:~~ ~~GenFuel electrolyzers are modular, scalable hydrogen generators optimized for clean hydrogen production.~~ ~~Electrolyzers generate hydrogen from water using electricity and a special membrane and “green” hydrogen is generated by using renewable energy inputs, such as solar or wind power.~~

We provide our products worldwide through our direct product sales force, and by leveraging relationships with original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and their dealer networks. Plug Power is targeting Asia and Europe for expansion in adoption. Europe has rolled out ambitious targets for the hydrogen economy and Plug Power is executing on its strategy to become one of the European leaders. This includes a targeted account strategy for material handling as well as securing strategic partnerships with European OEMs, energy companies, utility leaders and accelerating our electrolyzer business. We manufacture our commercially viable products in Latham, New York, Rochester, New York and Spokane, Washington and support liquid hydrogen generation and logistics in Charleston, Tennessee.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Plug Power France, has created a joint venture with Renault SAS (“Renault”) named HyVia, a French société par actions simplifiée (“HyVia”). HyVia plans to manufacture and sell fuel cell powered electric light commercial vehicles (“FCELCVs”) and to supply hydrogen fuel and fueling stations to support the FCE-LCV market, in each case primarily in Europe. HyVia is owned 50% by Plug Power France and 50% by Renault.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

~~Restatement~~

As previously disclosed in the Explanatory Note to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 10-K”), the Company restated its previously issued audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, June 30, 2020 and 2019, September 30, 2020 and 2019 and December 31, 2019.

Previously filed annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the restatement have not been amended. Accordingly, investors should not rely upon the Company’s previously released financial statements for these periods and any earnings releases or other communications relating to these periods, and, for these periods, investors should rely solely on the financial statements and other financial data for the relevant periods included in the 2020 10-K. Commencing with our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, we are including in our quarterly reports for fiscal 2021 restated results for the corresponding interim periods of fiscal 2020.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, we include our share of the results of our joint venture with Renault SAS (“Renault”) named HyVia, a French société par actions simplifiée (“HyVia”), AccionaPlug S.L., and SK Plug Hyverse Co., Ltd., using the equity method based on our economic ownership interest and our ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of ~~HyVia.~~HyVia, AccionaPlug S.L., and SK Plug Hyverse Co., Ltd.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s ~~2020 10-K.~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

The information presented in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 has been derived from the Company’s December 31, ~~2020~~2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

~~There have been no changes~~The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with our ~~accounting policies from those reported in our 2020~~2021 Form 10-K ~~except for the adoption of~~ ~~Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)~~ ~~2020-06,~~ ~~Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40),~~ ~~as described in the~~ ~~Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance~~ ~~section. We have also expanded our accounting policy relating to cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities as follows:~~.

~~Cash Equivalents~~

The Company considers all highly-liquid debt securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2021, cash equivalents consisted of commercial paper and U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities of three months or less, and money market funds. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts reported in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate the fair value of cash and cash equivalents.

Table of Contents

~~Available-for-sale securities~~

Available-for-sale securities is comprised of commercial paper with original maturities greater than three months, U.S. Treasury securities, municipal debt, certificates of deposit and corporate bonds. We consider these securities to be ~~available for use in our current year operations, and therefore classify them as current even if we do not dispose of the securities in the following year.~~

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value as of each balance sheet date. As of each balance sheet date, unrealized gains and losses, with the exception of credit related losses, are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income. Any credit related losses are recognized as a credit loss allowance on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to operations. Realized gains and losses are due to the sale and maturity of securities classified as available-for-sale and represent the net gain (loss) from accumulated other comprehensive income reclassifications for previously unrealized net gains on available-for-sale debt securities.

~~Equity securities~~

Equity securities are comprised of fixed income and equity market index mutual funds. Equity securities are valued at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations. We consider these securities to be ~~available for use in our current year operations, and therefore classify them as current even if we do not dispose of the securities in the following year.~~

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Other than the adoption of the accounting guidance mentioned in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K, ~~and ASU 2020-06~~, there have been no other significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows resulting from the adoption of new accounting pronouncements.

On January 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) using the modified retrospective approach. Consequently, the Company’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “3.75% Convertible Senior Notes”) is now accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. This accounting change removed the impact of recognizing the equity component of the Company’s convertible notes at issuance and the subsequent accounting impact of additional interest expense from debt discount amortization. Future interest expense of the convertible notes will be lower as a result of adoption of this guidance and net loss per share will be computed using the if-converted method for convertible instruments. The cumulative effect of the accounting change upon adoption on January 1, 2021 increased the carrying amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes by $120.6 million, reduced accumulated deficit by $9.6 million and reduced additional paid-in capital by $130.2 million.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

All issued but not yet effective accounting and reporting standards as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

3. Acquisitions

Joule Processing LLC

On January 14, 2022, the Company acquired Joule Processing LLC (“Joule”), an engineered modular equipment, process design and procurement company founded in 2009.

The fair value of consideration paid by the Company in connection with the Joule acquisition was as follows (in thousands):


Cash	$	28,140
Contingent consideration		41,732
Total consideration	$	69,872

The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value associated with earn-out payments of up to $130 million that the sellers are eligible to receive in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock (at the Company’s election). Of the total earnout consideration, $90 million is related to the achievement of certain financial performance and $40 million is related to the achievement of certain internal operational milestones.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, excluding goodwill (in thousands):


Current assets	$	2,672
Property, plant and equipment		493
Right of use asset		182
Identifiable intangible assets		60,522
Lease liability		(374)
Current liabilities		(2,612)
Contract liability		(3,818)
Total net assets acquired, excluding goodwill	$	57,065

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is still considered provisional due to the finalization of the valuation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in relation to the Joule acquisition. Therefore, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change as we obtain additional information for valuation assumptions such as market demand for Joule product lines to support forecasted revenue growth and the likelihood of achieving earnout milestones during the measurement period, which will not exceed 12 months from the date of acquisition. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an adjustment to goodwill of $136 thousand due to the payment of a hold back liability related to the Joule acquisition and was recorded in accrued expenses in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents

The fair value of the developed technology totaling $59.2 million included in the identifiable intangible assets was calculated using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) approach which is a variant of the income approach. The basic principle of the MPEEM approach is that a single asset, in isolation, is not capable of generating cash flow for an enterprise. Several assets are brought together and exploited to generate cash flow. Therefore, to determine cash flow from the developed technology over its useful life of 15 years, one must deduct the related expenses incurred for the exploitation of other assets used for the generation of overall cash flow. The fair value of the tradename totaling $0.8 million was calculated using the relief from royalty approach which is a variant of the income approach, and was assigned a useful life of four years. The fair value of the non-compete agreements was $0.5 million with a useful life of six years.

In addition to identifiable intangible assets, the fair value of acquired work in process and finished goods inventory, included in inventory, was estimated based on the estimated selling price less costs to be incurred and a market participant profit rate.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded on its consolidated balance sheet a liability of $41.7 million representing the fair value of contingent consideration payable, and is recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet in the loss accrual for service contracts and other liabilities. The fair value of this contingent consideration was remeasured to $36.9 million as of June 30, 2022, and as a result a $4.8 million reduction was recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Included in the purchase price consideration are contingent earn-out payments as described above. Due to the nature of the earn-outs, a scenario based analysis using the probability of achieving the milestone expectations was used to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. These fair value measurements were based on unobservable inputs and are considered to be level 3 financial instruments.

The goodwill was primarily attributed to the value of synergies created with the Company’s current and future offerings and the value of the assembled workforce. Goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill associated with the Joule acquisition was calculated as follows (in thousands):


Consideration paid	$	28,140
Contingent consideration		41,732
Less: net assets acquired		(57,065)
Total goodwill recognized	$	12,807

The acquisition of Joule contributed $2.0 million and $3.3 million to total consolidated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company determined it impractical to report net loss for the Joule acquisition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Applied Cryo Technologies Acquisition

On November 22, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Applied Cryo Technologies, Inc. (“Applied Cryo”). Applied Cryo is a manufacturer of engineered equipment servicing multiple applications, including cryogenic trailers and mobile storage equipment for the oil and gas markets and equipment for the distribution of liquified hydrogen, oxygen, argon, nitrogen, and other cryogenic gases.

Table of Contents

The fair value of consideration paid by the Company in connection with the Applied Cryo acquisition was as follows (in thousands):


Cash	$	98,559
Plug Power Inc. Common Stock		46,697
Contingent consideration		14,000
Settlement of preexisting relationship		2,837
Total consideration	$	162,093

Included in the $98.6 million of cash consideration above, $5.0 million is consideration held by our paying agent in connection with the acquisition and is reported as restricted cash, with a corresponding accrued liability as of June 30, 2022 on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet. We expect that this will be settled in the second half of 2022.

The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value associated with earn-out payments of up to $30.0 million that the sellers are eligible to receive in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock (at the Company’s election). Of the total earnout consideration, $15.0 million is related to financial performance, and $15.0 million is related to internal operational milestones.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, excluding goodwill (in thousands):


Cash	$	1,180
Accounts receivable		4,123
Inventory		24,655
Prepaid expenses and other assets		1,506
Property, plant and equipment		4,515
Right of use asset		2,788
Identifiable intangible assets		70,484
Lease liability		(2,672)
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities		(7,683)
Deferred tax liability		(16,541)
Deferred revenue		(12,990)
Total net assets acquired, excluding goodwill	$	69,365

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is still considered provisional due to the tradename, technology, and customer relationship valuations. The Company continues to evaluate valuation assumptions such as the market demand for the Applied Cryo existing product lines to support forecasted revenue growth. Additionally, the Company continues to research the technology and buying power of Applied Cryo and evaluate the likelihood of achieving the additional production capacity needed in a timely manner to meet earnout milestones. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment to goodwill of $0.5 million due to a release of escrow, which was recorded to accrued expenses in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet. Any necessary adjustments will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition.

Identifiable intangible assets consisted of developed technology, tradename, acquired customer relationships, non-compete agreements and backlog. The fair value of the developed technology totaling $26.3 million was calculated using the relief from royalty approach which is a variant of the income approach. The application of the relief from royalty approach involves estimating the value of an intangible asset by quantifying the present value of the stream of market derived royalty payments that the owner of the intangible asset is exempted or ‘relieved’ from paying. The developed technology has a useful life of 15 years. The fair value of the tradename totaling $13.7 million was calculated using the relief from royalty approach with a useful life of 15 years. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships totaling $26.6 million was calculated using the MPEEM approach and has a 15 year useful life. The fair value of the acquired

Table of Contents

customer relationships was estimated by discounting the net cash flow derived from the expected revenues attributable to the acquired customer relationships. The fair value of the non-compete agreements was $1.0 million with a useful life of three years. The fair value of the customer backlog was $2.9 million with a useful life of one year.

Included in the purchase price consideration are contingent earn-out payments described above. Due to the nature of the earn-outs, a scenario based analysis using the probability of achieving the milestone expectations was used to value these contingent payments. These fair value measurements were based on unobservable inputs and are considered to be level 3 financial instruments.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded on its consolidated balance sheet a liability of $14.0 million representing the fair value of contingent consideration payable. The fair value of this contingent consideration was remeasured as of June 30, 2022 and was $13.7 million as of June 30, 2022, and reductions of $0.4 million and $0.3 million was recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Included in Applied Cryo’s total net assets acquired, excluding goodwill, were net deferred tax liabilities of $16.5 million. In connection with the acquisition of these net deferred tax liabilities, the Company reduced its valuation allowance by $16.5 million and recognized a tax benefit $16.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The goodwill was primarily attributed to the value of synergies created with the Company’s current and future offerings and the value of the assembled workforce. Goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill associated with the Applied Cryo acquisition was calculated as follows (in thousands):


Consideration paid	$	162,093
Less: net assets acquired		(69,365)
Total goodwill recognized	$	92,728

The acquisition of Applied Cryo contributed $16.2 million and $33.1 million to total consolidated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company determined it impractical to report net loss for the Applied Cryo acquisition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Frames Holding B.V. Acquisition

On December 9, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Frames Holding B.V. (“Frames”). Frames, a leading provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions.

The fair value of consideration paid by the Company in connection with the Frames acquisition was as follows (in thousands):


Cash	$	94,541
Contingent consideration		29,057
Settlement of preexisting relationship		4,263
Total consideration	$	127,861

The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value associated with earn-out payments of up to €30.0 million that the sellers are eligible to receive in the form of cash. The contingent consideration is related to the achievement of certain internal operational targets during the four years following the closing date and is payable in 2 equal installments.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is still considered provisional due to outstanding customer valuation analysis. Identifiable intangible assets consisted of developed technology, tradename, acquired customer relationships, non-compete agreements and backlog. Any necessary adjustments will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment to goodwill of $7.2 million due to the recording of the deferred tax treatment surrounding the tangible and intangible assets acquired, which was recorded to contingent consideration, loss accrual for service contracts, and other liabilities in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The fair value of the developed technology totaling $5.3 million was calculated using the relief from royalty approach which is a variant of the income approach, and it has a useful life of eight years. The fair value of the tradename totaling $11.6 million was calculated using the relief from royalty approach, and it has a useful life of eight years. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships totaling $27.2 million was calculated using the MPEEM approach which is a variant of the income approach, and it has a useful life of 17 years. The fair value of the customer relationships was estimated by discounting the net cash flow derived from the expected revenues attributable to the acquired customer relationships. The fair value of the non-compete agreements totaling $4.9 million was calculated using the with and without income approach, and it has a useful life of approximately four years. The fair value of the backlog was $1.4 million, and it has a useful life of one year.

Included in the purchase price consideration are contingent earn-out payments described above. Due to the nature of the earn-outs, a scenario based analysis using the probability of achieving the milestone expectations was used to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. These fair value measurements were based on unobservable inputs and are considered to be level 3 financial instruments.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded on its consolidated balance sheet a liability of $29.1 million representing the fair value of contingent consideration payable. The fair value of this contingent consideration was remeasured as of June 30, 2022 and was $28.0 million as of June 30, 2022. The change in fair value decline was partially due to a change in the foreign currency translation, partially offset by an increase in the liability. The Company recorded an adjustment of $1.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Included in Frames’ total net assets acquired, excluding goodwill, are net deferred tax liabilities of $4.1 million.

The goodwill was primarily attributed to the value of synergies created with the Company’s current and future offerings and the value of the assembled workforce. Goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill associated with the Frames acquisition was calculated as follows (in thousands):


Consideration paid	$	127,861
Less: net assets acquired		(65,474)
Total goodwill recognized	$	62,387

The above estimates are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments. Any necessary adjustments will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. Substantially all the receivables acquired are expected to be collectable. Purchased goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The acquisition of Frames contributed $28.6 million and $50.5 million to total consolidated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 assuming that the Frames acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended

4. Extended Maintenance Contracts

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate any potential losses related to our extended maintenance contracts for fuel cell systems and related infrastructure that ~~has~~have been sold. We measure impairment losses at the customer contract level. The expected revenues and expenses for these contracts include all applicable expected costs of providing services over the remaining term of the contracts and the related unearned net revenue. A loss is recognized if the sum of expected costs of providing services under the contract exceeds related unearned net revenue and is recorded as a provision for loss contracts related to service in the consolidated statements of operations. A key component of these estimates is the expected future service costs. In estimating the expected future costs, the Company considers its current service cost level and applies significant judgment related to expected cost saving initiatives. The expected future cost savings will be primarily dependent upon the success of the Company’s initiatives related to increasing stack life, achieving better economies of

~~Table of Contents~~

scale for service labor, and improvements in design and operations of infrastructure. If the expected cost saving initiatives are not realized, this will increase the costs of providing services and could adversely affect our estimated contract loss accrual.

The following table shows the rollforward of balance in the accrual for loss contracts, including changes due to the ~~passage~~provision for loss accrual, loss accrual from acquisition, releases to service cost of ~~time, additions,~~sales, and ~~changes in estimates~~releases due to the provision for warrants (in thousands):

4.5. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common stock are computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. ~~After January 1, 2021, the date of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, in~~In periods when we have net income, the shares of our common stock subject to the convertible notes outstanding during the period will be included in our diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method.

On May 29, 2020, the Company issued an additional $12.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes.

The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2020. The notes will mature on June 1, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms.

The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, including the Company’s $100 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes, effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of its current or future subsidiaries.

Holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2024 in the following circumstances:

during any calendar quarter commencing after March 31, 2021 if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

~~during the~~ ~~five~~ ~~business days after any~~ ~~five~~ ~~consecutive trading day period (such~~ ~~five~~ consecutive trading day period, the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

if the Company calls any or all of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for redemption, any such notes that have been called for redemption may be converted at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

~~upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as described in the indenture governing the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes.~~

On or after December 1, 2024, the holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes may convert all or any portion of their notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date regardless of the foregoing conditions.

The initial conversion rate for the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes is 198.6196 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.03 per share of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, certain conditions allowing holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes to convert were met. The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes are therefore convertible during the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2021 at the conversion rate discussed above. During theand six months ended June 30, ~~2021, $15.2 million of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes~~2022, there were ~~converted and the Company issued 3.0 million shares of common stock in conjunction with these conversions.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

In addition, following certain corporate events or following issuance of a notice of redemption, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its notes called for redemption during the related redemption period in certain circumstances.

~~The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 5, 2023 and before the 41~~^st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least ~~one~~ ~~of the~~ ~~three~~ trading days immediately preceding the date the Company sends the related redemption notice, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company sends such redemption notice.

If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require the Company to repurchase their notes for cash all or any portion of their notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The Company accounts for the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes as a liability. We incurred transaction costs related to the issuance of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes of approximately $7.0 million, consisting of initial purchasers’ discount of approximately $6.4 million and other issuance costs of $0.6 million which were recorded as debt issuance cost (presented as contra debt in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets) and are being amortized to interest expense over the term0 conversions of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes.

Capped Call

~~Table of Contents~~

The 3.75% Notes Capped Call covers, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that underlie the initial 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and is generally expected to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the 3.75% Notes Capped Call is initially $6.7560 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 60%over the last then-reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $4.11 per share on the date of the transaction and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 3.75% Notes Capped Call. The 3.75% Notes Capped Call becomes exercisable if the conversion option is exercised.

at Amazon distribution centers. The existing commercial agreements contemplate, but do not guarantee, future purchase orders for the Company’s fuel cell technology. The vesting of the Amazon Warrant Shares was conditioned upon payments made by Amazon or its affiliates (directly or indirectly through third parties) pursuant to the existing commercial agreements.

~~Under the terms~~The warrant had been exercised with respect to 17,461,994 shares of the ~~original Amazon Warrant, the first tranche~~Company’s common stock as of ~~the 5,819,652 Amazon Warrant Shares vested upon execution of the Amazon Warrant,~~June 30, 2022 and the remaining Amazon Warrant Shares vest based on Amazon’s payment of up to $600.0 million to the Company in connection with Amazon’s purchase of goods and services from the Company. The $6.7 million fair value of the first tranche of the Amazon Warrant Shares, was recognized as selling, general and administrative expense upon execution of the Amazon Warrant.

~~Provision for the second and third tranches of Amazon Warrant Shares is recorded as a reduction of revenue, because they represent consideration payable to a customer.~~

The fair value of the second tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares was measured at January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASU 2019-08. The second tranche of 29,098,260 Amazon Warrant Shares vested in 4 equal installments, as Amazon or its affiliates, directly or indirectly through third parties, made an aggregate of $50.0 million in payments for goods and services to the Company, up to payments totaling $200.0 million in the aggregate. The last installment of the second tranche vested on November 2, 2020. Revenue reductions of $9.0 million, $4.1 million and $9.8 million associated with the second tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares were recorded in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, under the terms of the original Amazon Warrant.

Under the terms of the original Amazon Warrant, the third tranche of 20,368,784 Amazon Warrant Shares vests in 8 equal installments, as Amazon or its affiliates, directly or indirectly through third parties, made an aggregate of $50.0 million in payments for goods and services to the Company, up to payments totaling $400.0 million in the aggregate. The measurement date for the third tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares was November 2, 2020, when their exercise price was determined, as discussed further below. The fair value of the third tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares was determined to be $10.57 each. During 2020, revenue reductions of $24.1 million associated with the third tranche Amazon Warrant Shares were recorded under the terms of the original Amazon Warrant, prior to the December 31, ~~2020 waiver described below.~~

On December 31, 2020, the Company waived the remaining vesting conditions under the Amazon Warrant, which resulted in the immediate vesting of all the third tranche of the Amazon Warrant Shares and recognition of an additional $399.7 million reduction to revenue.

~~Table of Contents~~

The $399.7 million reduction to revenue resulting from the December 31, 2020 waiver was determined based upon a probability assessment of whether the underlying shares would have vested under the terms of the original Amazon Warrant. Based upon the Company’s projections of probable future cash collections from Amazon (i.e., a Type I share based payment modification), a reduction of revenue associated with 5,354,905 Amazon Warrant Shares was recognized at their previously measured November 2, 2020 fair value of $10.57 per warrant. A reduction of revenue associated with the remaining 12,730,490 Amazon Warrant Shares was recognized at their December 31, 2020 fair value of $26.95 each, based upon the Company’s assessment that associated future cash collections from Amazon were not deemed probable (i.e., a Type III share based payment modification).

The $399.7 million reduction to revenue was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 because the Company concluded such amount was not recoverable from the margins expected from future purchases by Amazon under the Amazon Warrant, and no exclusivity or other rights were conferred to the Company in connection with the December 31, 2020 waiver. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a reduction to the provision for warrants of $12.8 million in connection with the release of the service loss accrual. 2021.

At December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, all 55,286,696 of the Amazon Warrant Shares had vested. For service contracts entered into prior to December 31, 2020, the warrant charge associated with that revenue was capitalized and is subsequently amortized over the life of the service contract. The total amount of provision for common stock warrants recorded as a reduction of revenue for the Amazon Warrant during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.1 million and ~~2020 was $105 thousand and $3.4~~$0.1 million, respectively. The total amount of provision for common stock warrants recorded as a reduction of revenue for the Amazon Warrant during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.2 million and ~~2020 was $209 thousand and $4.7~~$0.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Amazon Warrant was exercised with respect to 9,214,449 shares of common stock and 4,745,905 shares of common stock. In July 2021, the Amazon Warrant was exercised with respect to an additional 3,501,640 shares of common stock.

The exercise price for the first and second tranches of Amazon Warrant Shares was $1.1893 per share. The exercise price of the third tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares was $13.81 per share, which was determined pursuant to the terms of the Amazon Warrant as an amount equal to 90 percent (90%) of the 30-day volume weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock as of November 2, 2020, the final vesting date of the second tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares. The Amazon Warrant is exercisable through April 4, 2027. The Amazon Warrant provides for net share settlement that, if elected by the holder, will reduce the number of shares issued upon exercise to reflect net settlement of the exercise price. The Amazon Warrant provides for certain adjustments that may be made to the exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise due to customary anti-dilution provisions based on future events. The Amazon Warrant is classified as an equity instrument.

Fair value of the Amazon Warrant at December 31, 2020 and November 2, 2020 was based on the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is based, in part, upon level 3 unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

Contract costs

Contract costs consist of capitalized commission fees and other expenses related to obtaining or fulfilling a contract.

Capitalized contract costs at June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 were ~~$1.2~~$0.6 million and ~~$1.5~~$0.4 million, respectively.

14. Income Taxes

The Company ~~did 0t record any~~recorded $0.4 million and $0 of income tax expense ~~or benefit~~ for the three ormonths ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recorded $9 thousand and $0 of income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021. The Company recognized an income tax benefit for the three~~2022 and six months ended June 30, 2020 of $17.4 million. Income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 included $12.2 million resulting from the intraperiod tax allocation rules under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-20, ~~Intraperiod Tax Allocation~~, under which the Company recognized an income tax benefit resulting from a source of future taxable income attributable to the net credit to additional paid-in capital related to the issuance of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, offset by the partial extinguishment of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes. In addition, the Company recorded $5.2 million of income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the recognition of net deferred tax liabilities in connection with the Giner, ELX Inc. acquisition, which resulted in a corresponding reduction in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance.2021, respectively. The Company has not changed its overall conclusion with respect to the need for a valuation allowance against its domestic net deferred tax assets, which remain fully reserved.

Table of Contents

The domestic net deferred tax asset generated from the Company’s net operating loss has been offset by a full valuation allowance because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forward will not be realized. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as a component of income tax expense.

15. Fair Value Measurements

The Company records the fair value of assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

~~Table of Contents~~

In addition to defining fair value, ASC 820 expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels, which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

These levels are:

●

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

●

Level 3 — unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability at fair value.

Securities reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs represent assets whose fair value is determined based upon observable unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets in active markets. Level 2 securities represent assets whose fair value is determined using observable market information such as previous day trade prices, quotes from less active markets or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. ~~There were 0 transfers~~ ~~betweenLevel~~1, ~~Level~~2~~, or~~ ~~Level~~ ~~3 during~~ ~~the six months~~ ~~ended June 30, 2021.~~

pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Class Action”) and appointed a lead plaintiff. For previously reported information about the cases that were consolidated into the Class Action, refer to Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” of the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. On October 6, 2021, lead plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (the “Class Action Amended Complaint”) which asserts claims individually and on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between November 9, 2020 and March 9, 2021 (the “Class”). The Class Action Amended Complaint includes two claims, for (1) violation of Section 10(b) of the exchange act and Rule 10b5 promulgated thereunder (against all defendants); and (2) violation of Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (against Mr. Marsh and Mr. Middleton). The Class Action Amended Complaint alleges that defendants made “materially false” statements concerning (1) adjusted EBITDA; (2) fuel delivery and research and development expenses; (3) costs related to provision for loss contracts; (4) gross losses; and (5) the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures, and that these alleged misstatements caused Class members losses and damages. The Class Action Amended Complaint seeks compensatory damages “in an amount to be proven at trial, including prejudgment interest thereon”; “reasonable costs and expenses incurred in th[e] action”; and “[s]uch other and further relief as the [c]ourt may deem just and proper.” On December 6, 2021, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Class Action Amended Complaint. Briefing on the motion to dismiss was completed in March 2022.

On June 13, 2022, alleged Company stockholder Donna Max, derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Plug, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against the derivative defendants named in the Liu Derivative Complaint, captioned Max v. Marsh, et. al., case no. 1:22-cv-00781(D. Del.)(the “Max Derivative Complaint”). The Max Derivative Complaint alleges that, for the years 2018, 2019 and 2020, the defendants did not “assure that a reliable system of financial controls was in place and functioning effectively”; “failed to disclose errors in the Company's accounting primarily relating to (i) the reported book value of right of use assets and related finance obligations, (ii) loss accruals for certain service contracts, (iii) the impairment of certain long-lived assets, and (iv) the classification of certain expenses previously included in research and development costs”; and that certain defendants traded Plug Power stock at “artificially inflated stock prices.” The Max Derivative Complaint asserts claims for (1) breach of fiduciary against all defendants; (2) breach of fiduciary duty for insider trading against certain defendants; and (3) contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against certain defendants. The Max Derivative Complaint seeks an award “for the damages sustained by [the Company]” and related relief. By stipulation approved by the Court, the case has been stayed pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class action.

On June 29, 2022, alleged Company stockholder Abbas Khambati, derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Plug, filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware against the derivative defendants named in the Liu Derivative Complaint and Gerard A. Conway, Jr. and Keith Schmid, captioned Khambati v. McNamee, et. al., C.A. no. 2022-05691(Del. Ch.)(the “Khambati Derivative Complaint”). The Khambati Derivative Complaint alleges that the defendants “deceive[d] the investing public, including stockholders of Plug Power, regarding the Individual Defendants’ management of Plug Power’s operations and the Company’s compliance with the SEC's accounting rules”; “facilitate[d” certain defendants’ sales of “their personally held shares while in possession of material, nonpublic information”; and “enhance[d] the Individual Defendants’ executive and directorial positions at Plug Power and the profits, power, and prestige that the Individual Defendants enjoyed as a result of holding these positions.” The Khambati Derivative Complaint asserts claims for (1) breach of fiduciary; and (2) disgorgement and unjust enrichment. The Khambati Derivative Complaint seeks an award “for the damages sustained by [the Company] as a result of the breaches” alleged or “disgorgement or restitution”; “disgorgement of insider trading profits” and “all profits, benefits and other compensation obtained by [defendants’] insider trading and further profits flowing therefrom”; an order “[d]irecting the Company to take all necessary actions to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures”; and related relief. By stipulation approved by the Court, the case has been stayed pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class action.

On July 19, 2022, alleged Company stockholder Anne D. Graziano, as Trustee of the Anne D. Graziano Revocable Living Trust, derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Plug, filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware against the derivative defendants named in the Khambati Derivative Complaint, captioned Graziano v. Marsh, et. al., C.A. no. 2022-0629 (Del. Ch.)(the “Graziano Derivative Complaint”). The Graziano Derivative Complaint alleges that the director defendants (i) “either knowingly or recklessly issued or caused the Company to issue the materially false and misleading statements” concerning “certain critical accounting issues”; (ii) “willfully ignored, or recklessly failed to inform themselves of, the obvious problems with the Company’s internal

Table of Contents

controls, practices, and procedures, and failed to make a good faith effort to correct the problems or prevent their recurrence”; (iii) the members of the Audit Committee failed “to prevent, correct, or inform the Board of the issuance of material misstatements and omissions regarding critical accounting issues and the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls”; (iv) “received payments, benefits, stock options, and other emoluments by virtue of their membership on the Board and their control of the Company; (v) violated Plug’s Code of Conduct because they knowingly or recklessly engaged in and participated in making and/or causing the Company to make the materially false and misleading statements; and (vi) that certain defendants “sold large amounts of Company stock while it was trading at artificially inflated prices.” The Graziano Derivative Complaint asserts claims for (1) breach of fiduciary; (2) breach of fiduciary duty against certain defendants for insider trading; (3) unjust enrichment; (4) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty; and (5) waste of corporate assets. The Graziano Derivative Complaint seeks an award of “the amount of damages sustained by the Company”; seeks an order “[d]irecting Plug Power to take all necessary actions to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures to comply with applicable laws and to protect Plug Power and its stockholders from a repeat of the damaging events described herein”; and related relief. The parties to the Graziano Derivative Complaint and Khambati Derivative Complaint have agreed to consolidate their actions and have filed a stipulation with the Court to that effect and for a stay of the Graziano Derivative Complaint pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class action.

As previously disclosed, on August 28, 2018, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of multiple individuals against the Company and five corporate co-defendants in the 9th Judicial District Court, Rapides Parish, Louisiana. The lawsuit relates to the previously disclosed May 2018 accident involving a forklift powered by the Company’s fuel cell at a Procter & Gamble facility in Louisiana. The lawsuit alleges claims against the Company and co-defendants, including Structural Composites Industries, Deep South Equipment Co., Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., and Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. for claims under the Louisiana Product Liability Act (“LPLA”) including defect in construction and/or composition, design defect, inadequate warning, breach of express warranty and negligence for wrongful death and personal injuries, among other damages. Procter & Gamble has intervened in that suit to recover worker’s compensation benefits paid to or for the employees/dependents. Procter & Gamble has also filed suit for property damage, business interruption, loss of revenue, expenses, and other damages. Procter & Gamble alleges theories under the LPLA, breach of warranty and quasi-contractual claims under Louisiana law. Defendants include the Company and several of the same co-defendants from the August 2018 lawsuit, including Structural Composites Industries, Deep South Equipment Co., and Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. In April 2022, Plug reached a settlement with respect to the individual plaintiffs on terms well below the Company’s commercial liability insurance limits and continues to vigorously defend the remaining lawsuit against Proctor & Gamble.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and marketable securities. Cash and restricted cash are maintained in accounts with financial institutions, which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of ~~$0.25~~$0.3 million. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant. The Company’s available-for-sale securities consists primarily of investments in ~~commercial paper,~~ U.S. Treasury securities ~~municipal debt~~ and short-term high credit quality corporate debt securities. Equity securities are comprised of fixed income and equity market index mutual funds.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables exist due to the limited number of select customers with whom the Company has commercial sales arrangements. To mitigate credit risk, the Company performs appropriate evaluation of a prospective customer’s financial condition.

At June 30, ~~2021, 1 customer~~2022, 2 customers comprised ~~78.5%~~36.4% of the total accounts receivable balance. At December 31, ~~2020, 3 customers~~2021, 1 customer comprised ~~73.9%~~approximately 46.6% of the total accounts receivable balance.

For purposes of assigning a customer to a sale/leaseback transaction completed with a financial institution, the Company considers the end user of the assets to be the ultimate customer. For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021, 81.3%~~2022, 38.0% and ~~77.7%,~~35.5% of total consolidated revenues were associated with 32 customers, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020, 83.9%~~2021, 81.3% and ~~77.9%~~77.7% of total consolidated revenues were associated primarily with 23 customers, respectively.

~~20. Employee Benefit Plans~~

~~2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan~~

On May 12, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan provided for the issuance of up to a maximum number of shares of common stock equal to the sum of (i) 1,000,000, plus (ii) the number of shares of common stock underlying any grants pursuant to the 2011 Plan or the Plug Power Inc. 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan that are forfeited, canceled, repurchased or are terminated (other than by exercise). The shares may be issued pursuant to stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and certain other equity-based awards granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. NaN further grants may be made under the 2011 Plan after May 12, 2021. Through various amendments to the 2011 Plan approved by the Company’s stockholders, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan has been increased to 42.4 million. The Company recorded expense of approximately $11.1 million and $2.5 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in connection with the 2011 Plan. The Company recorded

2011 and 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

The Company has issued stock-based awards to employees and members of ~~approximately $19.6~~its Board of Directors (the “Board”) consisting of stock options and restricted stock awards. The Company accounts for all stock-based awards to employees and members of the Board as compensation costs in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values measured as of the date of grant. These costs are recognized over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation costs recognized, excluding the Company’s matching contributions to the Plug Power Inc. 401(k) Savings & Retirement Plan and quarterly Board compensation, were $42.6 million and ~~$5.0~~$11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Stock-based compensation costs recognized, excluding the Company’s matching contributions to the Plug Power Inc. 401(k) Savings & Retirement Plan and quarterly Board compensation, were $83.5 million and $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and 2020, respectively, in connection with the 2011 Plan. In July 2021, the 2021 Stock Option Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders, which provides for the sum of 22,500,000 shares in addition to 473,491 shares of common stock that are available for grant under the 2011 Plan to be issued under the 2021 Plan.

At June 30, 2021, there were outstanding options to purchase approximately 9.2 million shares of common stock. Options for employees issued under this plan generally vest in equal annual installments over three years and expire ten years after issuance. Options granted to members of the Board generally vest one year after issuance. To date, options granted under the 2011 Plan have vesting provisions ranging from ~~one~~ ~~to three years in duration and expire ten years after issuance.~~

Compensation cost associated with employee stock options represented approximately $4.3 million and $1.5 million of the total share-based payment expense recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

The ~~Company estimates~~methods and assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model, and the resulting fair value is recorded as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the option vesting period. Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Company’s stock, an appropriate risk-free rate, and the Company’s dividend yield. Estimates of fair valuestock-based awards are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company.

Overview

Plug ~~Power~~ is facilitating the paradigm shift to an increasingly electrified world by innovating cutting-edge hydrogen and fuel cell solutions. ~~In our core business,~~While we ~~provide and~~ continue to develop ~~commercially viable~~commercially-viable hydrogen and fuel cell product solutions to replace lead-acid and lithium batteries in electric material handling vehicles and industrial trucks for some of the world’s largest retail-distribution and manufacturing ~~businesses.~~businesses, we have expanded our offerings to support a variety of commercial operations that can be powered with green hydrogen. We also provide electrolyzers that allow customers — such as refineries, producers of chemicals, steel and fertilizer and commercial refueling stations — to generate hydrogen on-site. Additionally, we intend for our electrolyzers to be used to generate green hydrogen within Plug’s own plants that will then be sold to customers. We are focusing our efforts on industrial mobility applications, including electric forklifts and electric industrial vehicles, at multi-shift high volume manufacturing and high throughput distribution sites where we believe our products and services provide a unique combination of productivity, flexibility, and environmental benefits. Additionally, we manufacture and sell fuel cell products to replace batteries and diesel generators in stationary ~~backup power applications. These products have proven valuable with telecommunications, transportation, and utility customers as robust, reliable, and sustainable power solutions.~~

Part of our long-term plan includes Plug Power penetrating the on-road vehicle market and large-scale stationary market. Plug Power’s formation of a joint venture with Renault in Europe and the announced future joint venture with SKback-up

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Update

Starting on January 3, 2022, all U.S. based employees, including temporary employees were required to either be vaccinated against COVID-19, or be subject to weekly COVID-19 testing in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19 and continue to protect our workforce. As ~~a result~~ of February 28, 2022, we discontinued the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in March 2020, state governments—including those in New York and Washington, where our manufacturing facilities are located—issued orders requiring businesses that do not conduct essential services to temporarily close their physical workplaces toweekly testing for unvaccinated employees and ~~customers. As a result, we had~~removed the mask requirement for fully vaccinated employees. Our positive cases declined significantly;

~~put~~and that, combined with guidance from state and federal agencies resulted in ~~place~~the change in practice. We continue to monitor the situation, and remain prepared to adjust accordingly. On March 25, 2022, we transitioned our face-covering requirement to voluntary for all employees and visitors. Additionally, we removed our daily COVID-19 questionnaire and discontinued temperature monitoring as a ~~number of protective measures in response~~daily requirement at our facilities. Employees are still expected to ~~the COVID-19 outbreak, which included the canceling of~~remain home if they are not feeling well and should contact our COVID team for future guidance. Furthermore, we have resumed all commercial air travel and all other non-critical travel, ~~requesting that~~while also allowing employees ~~limit non-essential~~to resume their personal ~~travel, eliminating all but essential~~travel. We have enabled third-party access to our facilities, ~~enhancing~~and are continuing our ~~facilities’~~normal janitorial and sanitary ~~procedures, encouraging employees~~procedures. We no longer are requiring staggered shifts in our manufacturing facilities and are offering hybrid work schedules to ~~work from home to the extent their~~those whose job function enabled them to do so, encouraging the use of virtual employee meetings, and providing staggered shifts and social distancing measures for those employees associated with manufacturing and service operations. In May 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”) revised guidance for fully vaccinated individuals regarding no longer needing to wear a mask indoors or practicing social distancing, which was subsequently adopted by the state of New York on May 19, 2021.

As a result, effective in June 2021 and in accordance with new CDC guidelines and where permitted by state law, employees who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have been through Plug Power’s certification process may enter Plug Power facilities without a face covering. Individuals inside Plug Power facilities who do not wish to go through the certification process are required to wear proper face coverings and continue to maintain social distancing of 6 feet or greater. In states where the guidelines for face coverings is still government mandated, Plug Power will comply with the state and local jurisdictions and enforce face mask usage, as well as social distancing at our sites.

Plug Power will continue to provide enhanced janitorial and sanitary procedures, encourage employees to work from home to the extent their job function enables them to do so, and encourage the use of virtual employee meetings.so.

We cannot predict at this time the full extent to which COVID-19 and its related variants will continue to impact our business, results, and financial condition, which will depend on many factors. We are staying in close communication with our manufacturing facilities, employees, customers, suppliers, and partners, and acting to mitigate the impact of this dynamic and evolving situation, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so. ~~Although as of the date hereof, we have not observed any material impacts to our supply of components, the situation is fluid.~~ Many of the parts for our products are sourced from suppliers in China and the manufacturing situation in China remains variable. Supply chain disruptions could reduce the availability of key components, increase prices or ~~both. Certain~~both, as the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant challenges for global supply chains resulting primarily in transportation delays. These transportation delays have caused incremental freight charges, which have negatively impacted our results of operations. We expect that these challenges will continue to have an impact on our businesses for the foreseeable future.

We continue to take proactive steps to limit the impact of these challenges and are working closely with our suppliers and transportation vendors to ensure availability of products and implement other cost savings initiatives. In addition, we continue to invest in our supply chain to improve its resilience with a focus on automation, dual sourcing of critical components and localized manufacturing when feasible. To date, there has been limited disruption to the availability of our ~~customers,~~products, though it is possible that more significant disruptions could occur if these supply chain challenges continue.

Inflation, Material Availability and Labor Shortages

In the first half of 2022, we continued to experience higher than expected commodity costs and supply chain costs, including logistics, procurement, and manufacturing costs, largely due to inflationary pressures. We expect this cost inflation to remain elevated through at least the remainder of 2022.

Our operations require significant amounts of necessary parts and raw materials. From time to time, the Company may encounter difficulties in obtaining certain raw materials or components necessary for production due to supply chain constraints and logistical challenges, which may also negatively impact the pricing of materials and components sourced or used by the Company. Additionally, conflicts abroad, such as ~~Walmart, significantly~~the Russia-Ukraine conflict, may potentially contribute to issues related to supply chain disruptions and inflation impacts. While the Company does not currently anticipate any significant, broad-based difficulties in obtaining raw materials or components necessary for production, there have been supply chain and logistical challenges that have resulted in supply constraints and commodity price increases on certain raw materials and components used by the Company in production, as well as increased ~~their use of units~~prices for freight and ~~hydrogen fuel consumption~~logistics, including air, sea and ground freight. Consequently, the Company may experience supply shortages for raw materials or components in the future, which could be further exacerbated by increased commodity prices as a result of ~~COVID-19. In the three~~additional inflationary pressures. Although we have offset a portion of these increased costs through price increases and ~~six months ended June 30, 2021~~operational efficiencies to date, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so. If we are unable to manage fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects, and ~~the twelve months ended December 31, 2020,~~sourcing decisions as well as through productivity improvements, it may adversely impact our ~~services~~gross margins in future periods.

Additionally, we have observed an increasingly competitive labor market. Tight labor markets have resulted in labor inflation and PPA margins were negatively impacted by incremental service costs associated with increased usage of units at some of our primary customer sites. In addition, future changes in applicable government orders or regulations, orlonger times to fill open positions. Increased employee turnover, changes in the ~~interpretation~~availability of ~~existing orders or regulations,~~our workers, including as a result of COVID-19-related absences, and labor shortages in our supply chain have resulted in, and could continue to result in, ~~further disruptions to our business that may materially and adversely~~increased costs which could negatively affect our financial condition, ~~and~~ results of ~~operations.~~

~~Strategic Activities~~

On June 3, 2021, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Plug Power France, created a joint venture with Renault named HyVia. HyVia plans to manufacture and sell FCELCVs and to supply hydrogen fuel and fueling stations to support the FCE-LCV market, in each case primarily in Europe. HyVia is owned 50% by Plug Power France and 50% by Renault. We include our share of the results of HyVia using the equity method based on our economic ownership interest and our ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of HyVia. We do not control this entity as our ownership is 50%, and as such HyVia is not included within our consolidated financial results for any period presented.

~~Charter Amendment~~

On July 30, 2021, our stockholders, upon recommendation of our Board of Directors, approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 750,000,000 shares to 1,500,000,000 shares. The Charter Amendment became effective upon the filing of the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of the State of the State of Delaware on August 2, 2021.

Results of Operations

Our primary sources of revenue are from sales of fuel cell systems, ~~and~~ related infrastructure and equipment, services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and fuel delivered to customers. A certain portion of our sales result from acquisitions in legacy markets, which we are working to transition to renewable solutions. Revenue from sales of fuel cell systems, ~~and~~ related infrastructure and equipment represents sales of our GenDrive units, GenSure stationary backup power units, ~~as well as~~cryogenic stationary and onroad storage, electrolyzers and hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Revenue from services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure represents revenue earned on our service and maintenance contracts and sales of spare parts. Revenue from PPAs primarily represents payments received from customers who make monthly payments to access the Company’s GenKey solution. Revenue associated with fuel delivered to customers represents the sale of hydrogen to customers that has been purchased by the Company from a third party or generated on site.

Based on historical experience, the Company experiences seasonality with respect to its revenue, with more revenue typically recognized in the second half of the fiscal year as compared to the first half.

Table of Contents

Capped Call

In conjunction with the pricing of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “3.75% Notes Capped Call”) with certain counterparties at a price of $16.2 million. The 3.75% Notes Capped Call covers, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that underlie the initial 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and is generally expected to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the 3.75% Notes Capped Call is initially $6.7560 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 60%over the last then-reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $4.11 per share on the date of the transaction and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 3.75% Notes Capped Call. The 3.75% Notes Capped Call becomes exercisable if the conversion option is exercised.

The net cost incurred in connection with the 3.75% Notes Capped Call ~~was~~were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Common Stock Forward

In May 2020, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes to finance the cash portion of the partial repurchase of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes,Act, which consisted of a repurchase of approximately $66.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes in privately-negotiated transactions for aggregate consideration of $128.9 million, consisting of approximately $90.2 million in cash and approximately 9.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The partial repurchase of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes resulted in a $13.2 million gain on early debt extinguishment. In the fourth quarter of 2020, $33.5 million of the remaining 5.5% Convertible Senior Noteshave been fully converted into 14.6 million shares of common stock which resulted in a gain of approximately $4.5 million and was recorded on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations on the gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt line.

The Company and Amazon entered into the Amazon Transaction Agreement in connection with existing commercial agreements between the Company and Amazon with respect to the deployment of the Company’s GenKey fuel cell technology at Amazon distribution centers. The existing commercial agreements contemplate, but do not guarantee, future purchase orders for the Company’s fuel cell technology. The vesting of the Amazon Warrant Shares was conditioned upon payments made by Amazon or its affiliates (directly or indirectly through third parties) pursuant to the existing commercial agreements.

~~Provision for the second and third tranches of Amazon Warrant Shares is recorded as a reduction of revenue, because they represent consideration payable to a customer.~~

The fair value of the second tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares was measured at January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASU 2019-08. The second tranche of 29,098,260 Amazon Warrant Shares vested in four equal installments, as Amazon or its affiliates, directly or indirectly through third parties, made an aggregate of $50.0 million in payments for goods and services to the Company, up to payments totaling $200.0 million in the aggregate. The last installment of the second tranche vested on November 2, 2020. Revenue reductions of $9.0 million, $4.1 million and $9.8 million associated with the second tranche of Amazon Warrant Shares were recorded in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, under the terms of the original Amazon Warrant.

Under the terms of the original Amazon Warrant, the third tranche of 20,368,784 Amazon Warrant Shares vests in eight equal installments, as Amazon or its affiliates, directly or indirectly through third parties, made an aggregate of $50.0 million in payments for goods and services to the Company, up to payments totaling $400.0 million in the aggregate.

The Amazon Warrant was exercisable through April 4, 2027. The Amazon Warrant provides for net share settlement that, if elected by the holder, will reduce the number of shares issued upon exercise to reflect net settlement of the exercise price. The Amazon Warrant provides for certain adjustments that may be made to the exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise due to customary anti-dilution provisions based on future events. The Amazon Warrant is classified as an equity instrument.Walmart Transaction Agreement

The fair values of the Company’s investments are based upon prices provided by an independent pricing service. Management has assessed and concluded that these prices are reasonable and has not adjusted any prices received from the independent provider. Securities reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs represent assets whose fair value is determined based upon observable unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets in active markets. Level 2 securities represent assets whose fair value is determined using observable market information such as previous day trade prices, quotes from less active markets or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics.

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements that are likely to have a current or future significant effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of and during the reporting period. On an ~~on-going~~ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories, goodwill and intangible assets, ~~impairment~~valuation of long-lived assets, ~~and PPA executory contract consideration,~~ accrual for service loss ~~on extended maintenance~~ contracts, operating and finance leases, product warranty ~~reserves,~~accruals, unbilled revenue, common stock warrants, income taxes, stock-based compensation and contingencies. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about (1) the carrying values of assets and liabilities and (2) the amount of revenue and expenses realized that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no changes in our critical accounting estimates from those reported in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Other than the adoption of the accounting guidance mentioned in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K, ~~and ASU 2020-06,~~ there have been no other significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows resulting from the adoption of new accounting pronouncements.

On January 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) using the modified retrospective approach. Consequently, the Company’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes is now accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. This accounting change removed the impact of recognizing the equity component of the Company’s convertible notes at issuance and the subsequent accounting impact of additional interest expense from debt discount amortization. Future interest expense of the convertible notes will be lower as a result of adoption of this guidance and net loss per share will be computed using the if-converted method for convertible instruments. The cumulative effect of the accounting change upon adoption on January 1, 2021 increased the carrying amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes by $120.6 million, reduced accumulated deficit by $9.6 million and reduced additional paid-in capital by $130.2 million.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

All issued but not yet effective accounting and reporting standards as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has been no material change from the information provided in the ~~2020~~Company’s 2021 Form 10-K under the section titled “Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market ~~Risk,~~Risk.” ~~other than those described below.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

During the first six months of 2021, the Company purchased U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, money market funds and municipal debt, in which the major components of market risk affecting us are credit risk and interest rate risk. We also purchased equity securities, in which the major component of market risk affecting us is equity risk.

Our exposure to changes in foreign currency rates is primarily related to sourcing inventory from foreign locations and operations of HyPulsion, S.A.S., our French subsidiary that develops and sells hydrogen fuel cell systems for the European material handling market. This practice can give rise to foreign exchange risk resulting from the varying cost of inventory to the receiving location. The Company reviews the level of foreign content as part of its ongoing evaluation of overall sourcing strategies and considers the exposure to be not significant. Our HyPulsion exposure presently is mitigated by low levels of operations and its sourcing is primarily intercompany in nature and denominated in U.S. dollars.

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

~~(a) Disclosure controls and procedures.~~

(a)

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our

Table of Contents

management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 because of the material ~~weakness~~weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described in Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. The material ~~weakness has~~weaknesses have not been remediated as of June 30, ~~2021.~~ 2022.

Material Weakness ~~identified as of December 31, 2020~~

Management identified that the following deficiency existed in internal control over financial reporting ~~as of December 31, 2020:~~in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021: the Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of trained, knowledgeable resources to execute its responsibilities with respect to internal control over financial reporting for certain financial statement accounts and

disclosures. As a consequence, the Company did not conduct an effective risk assessment process that was responsive to changes in the Company's operating environment and did not design and implement effective process-level controls ~~activities~~ in the following areas:

(a)

~~Presentation~~presentation of operating expenses;

(b)

~~Accounting~~accrual for ~~lease-related transactions;~~loss contracts related to service; and

(c)

~~Identification and evaluation of impairment, accrual for loss contracts, certain expense accruals, and deemed dividends; and~~

~~(d)~~

~~Timely~~ identification of adjustments to physical ~~inventory in interim periods.~~inventory.

As of December 31, 2021, management identified additional deficiencies which were also the result of the Company not maintaining a sufficient complement of trained, knowledgeable resources to execute its responsibilities and conduct an effective risk assessment. Specifically, the process-level controls to ensure proper capitalization of inventory costs were not performed with an appropriate level of precision to detect and prevent a material misstatement. Additionally, management identified ineffective general information technology control activities over an information technology system that is used in calculating fuel billings, due to the ineffective risk assessment in identifying the relevant system. Management did not design and implement general information technology control activities in response to the current year growth in fuel delivered to customers.

The control deficiency, related to the accrual for loss contracts related to service, resulted in a material misstatement that was corrected prior to the filing of the 2021 Form 10-K. We did not identify any other material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements and there were no changes to previously issued financial results as a result of the other control deficiencies; however, the control deficiencies described above created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result, we concluded the deficiencies described above represent material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021.

The Company acquired Applied Cryo Technologies and Frames Holdings B.V. (together, the “Acquired Companies”) during 2021, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, the Acquired Companies’ internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $369.1 million and total revenues of $15.8 million included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and the year ended December 31, 2021.

Remediation Activities

As reported on our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K, we continue to take steps to remediate this material weakness and will continue to take further steps until such remediation is complete. These steps include the following:

Hiring additional resources, including third-party resources, with the appropriate technical accounting expertise, and strengthening internal training, to assist us in identifying and addressing any complex technical accounting issues that affect our consolidated financial statements.

~~We will design~~Designing and ~~implement~~implementing a comprehensive and continuous risk assessment process to identify and assess risks of material misstatements, and ensure that the impacted financial reporting processes and related internal controls are properly designed, maintained, and documented to respond to those risks in our financial reporting.

As we work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may modify our remediation plan and may implement additional measures as we continue to review, optimize, and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures in the ordinary course. The material ~~weakness~~weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the remediated controls have been operating for a sufficient period of time and can be evidenced through testing that ~~they~~these controls are operating effectively.

Exclusive of the steps taken inas part of the remediation activities, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 that ~~has~~have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

~~PART II. OTHER INFORMATION~~

~~Item 1 — Legal Proceedings~~

On August 28, 2018, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of multiple individuals against the Company and five corporate co-defendants in the 9th Judicial District Court, Rapides Parish, Louisiana. The lawsuit relates to the previously disclosed May 2018 accident involving a forklift powered by the Company’s fuel cell at a Procter & Gamble facility in Louisiana. The lawsuit alleges claims against the Company and co-defendants, including Structural Composites Industries, Deep South Equipment Co., Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., and Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. for claims under the Louisiana Product Liability Act (“LPLA”) including defect in construction and/or composition, design defect, inadequate warning, breach of express warranty and negligence for wrongful death and personal injuries, among other damages. Procter & Gamble has intervened in that suit to recover worker’s compensation benefits paid to or for the employees/dependents. Procter & Gamble has also filed suit for property damage, business interruption, loss of revenue, expenses, and other damages. Procter & Gamble alleges theories under the LPLA, breach of warranty and quasi-contractual claims under Louisiana law. Defendants include the Company and several of the same co-defendants from the August 2018 lawsuit, including Structural Composites Industries, Deep South Equipment Co., and Hyster-Yale Group, Inc.

In March and May 2021, Company stockholders, individually and on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Plug securities between November 9, 2020 and March 16, 2021 (the “Class”), filed complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, Plug Chief Executive Officer Andrew Marsh, and Plug Chief Financial Officer Paul Middleton (together, the “Defendants”), captioned ~~Dawn Beverly et al. v. Plug Power Inc. et al.~~~~, Case No. 1:21-cv-02004 (S.D.N.Y.),~~ ~~Smolíček~~~~v. Plug Power Inc. et al.~~~~, Case No. 2:21-cv-02402 (C.D. Cal.) and~~ ~~Tank v. Plug Power Inc. et al.~~, Case No. 1:21-cv-03985 (S.D.N.Y.). The complaints include two claims, for (1) violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b5 promulgated thereunder (against all Defendants); and (2) violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act (against Mr. Marsh and Mr. Middleton). The complaints allege that Defendants failed to disclose that the Company (i) “would be unable to timely file its 2020 annual report due to delays related to the review of classification of certain costs and the recoverability of the right to use assets with certain leases”; and (ii) “was reasonably likely to report material weaknesses

~~Table of Contents~~

in its internal control over financial reporting[.]” The complaints allege that, a result, “positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis,” causing Class members losses and damages. The complaints seek compensatory damages “in an amount to be proven at trial, including interest thereon”; “reasonable costs and expenses incurred in th[e] action”; and “[s]uch other and further relief as the [c]ourt may deem just and proper.” On July 22, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York consolidated the three cases and appointed a lead plaintiff. On July 28, 2021, ~~Tank v. Plug Power, et. al.~~~~, was voluntarily dismissed.~~

On March 31, 2021, Company stockholder Junwei Liu, derivatively and on behalf of nominal defendant Plug, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain Company directors and officers (the “Derivative Defendants”), captioned ~~Liu v. Marsh et al.~~~~, Case No. 1:21-cv-02753 (S.D.N.Y.) (the “~~~~Liu~~ ~~Derivative Complaint”). The~~ ~~Liu~~ Derivative Complaint alleges that, between November 9, 2020 and March 1, 2021, the Derivative Defendants “made, or caused the Company to make, materially false and misleading statements concerning Plug Power’s business, operations, and prospects” by “issu[ing] positive financial information and optimistic guidance, and made assurances that the Company’s internal controls were effective,” when, “[i]n reality, the Company’s internal controls suffered from material deficiencies that rendered them ineffective.” The ~~Liu~~ Derivative Complaint asserts claims for (1) breach of fiduciary duties, (2) unjust enrichment, (3) abuse of control, (4) gross mismanagement, (5) waste of corporate assets, and (6) contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act (as to the named officer defendants). The ~~Liu~~ Derivative Complaint seeks a judgment “[d]eclaring that Plaintiff may maintain this action on behalf of Plug”; “[d]eclaring that the [Derivative] Defendants have breached and/or aided and abetted the breach of their fiduciary duties”; “awarding to Plug Power the damages sustained by it as a result of the violations” set forth in the ~~Liu~~ Derivative Complaint, “together with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest thereon”; “[d]irecting Plug Power and the [Derivative] Defendants to take all necessary actions to reform and improve Plug Power’s corporate governance and internal procedures to comply with applicable laws”; and “[a]warding Plaintiff the costs and disbursements of this action, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses”; and “[s]uch other and further relief as the [c]ourt may deem just and proper.”

On April 5, 2021, Company stockholders Elias Levy and Camerohn X. Withers, derivatively and on behalf of nominal defendant Plug, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Derivative Defendants named in the ~~Liu~~ ~~Derivative Complaint, captioned~~ ~~Levy et al. v. McNamee et al.~~~~, Case No. 1:21-cv-02891 (S.D.N.Y.) (the “~~~~Levy~~ ~~Derivative Complaint”). The~~ ~~Levy~~ Derivative Complaint alleges that, from November 9, 2020 to April 5, 2021, the Derivative Defendants “breached their duties of loyalty and good faith” by failing to disclose “(1) that the Company would be unable to timely file its 2020 annual report due to delays related to the review of classification of certain costs and the recoverability of the right to use assets with certain leases; (2) that the Company was reasonably likely to report material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting; and (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.” The ~~Levy~~ Derivative Complaint asserts claims for (1) breach of fiduciary duty (as to the named director defendants), (2) unjust enrichment (as to certain named director defendants), (3) waste of corporate assets (as to the named director defendants), and (4) violations of Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act (as to the named officer defendants). The ~~Levy~~ Derivative Complaint seeks a judgment “declaring that Plaintiffs may maintain this action on behalf of the Company”; finding the Derivative Defendants “liable for breaching their fiduciary duties owed to the Company”; directing the Derivative Defendants “to take all necessary actions to reform and improve the Company’s corporate governance, risk management, and internal operating procedures to comply with applicable laws”; “awarding damages to the Company for the harm the Company suffered as a result of Defendants’ wrongful conduct”; “awarding damages to the Company for [the named officer Derivative Defendants’] violations of Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act”; “awarding Plaintiffs the costs and disbursements of this action, including attorneys’, accountants’, and experts’ fees”; and “awarding such other and further relief as is just and equitable.” On April 27, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York consolidated the ~~Liu~~ ~~Derivative Complaint and the~~ ~~Levy~~ ~~Derivative Complaint under Case No. 1:21-cv-02753-ER (the “Consolidated Action”).~~

On May 13, 2021, Company stockholder Romario St. Clair, derivatively and on behalf of nominal defendant Plug, filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against the Derivative Defendants named in the ~~Liu~~ ~~Derivative Complaint, captioned~~ ~~St. Clair v.
